Many highly destructive weapons are legally ownable in the United States, regulated by the National Firearms Act and varying state laws.
The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide if licensed guns owners have a right to carry their weapons at public places, including parks, beaches and stores. At issue are laws in California, Hawaii and three other states that generally prohibit carrying guns on private or public property. Three years ago, Supreme Court ruled that law-abiding gun owners had a 2nd Amendment right to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon when they leave home.
